First published in 1884, this book contains a biography of Princess Louise Maximilienne Caroline Emmanuele of Stolberg-Gedern (1752-1824) written by Vernon Lee. Often referred to as the Countess of Albany, she was the wife of the Jacobite claimant to the English and Scottish thrones Charles Edward Stuart. A fascinating biographical sketch not to be missed by those with an interest in British History. Violet Paget (1856-1935), also known under the pseudonym Vernon Lee, was a French-born British writer famous for her supernatural fiction and contributions to the field of aesthetics. She also wrote more than a dozen books on a variety of subjects ranging from music to travel, and today she is best remembered for her original ideas and amusing use of irony. Contents include: "e;The Bride"e;, "e;The Bridegroom"e;, "e;Regina Apostolorum"e;, "e;The Heir"e;, "e;Florence"e;, "e;Alfieri"e;, "e;The Cavaliere Servente"e;, "e;The Escape"e;, "e;Rome"e;, "e;Antigone"e;, "e;Separation"e;, etc. Other notable works by this author include: "e;The Prince of the Hundred Soups: A Puppet Show in Narrative"e; (1883), and "e;Miss Brown"e; (1884).
